Agenda Item Backus Statement
The Texas Human Resources Code, Title 3, Chapter 63, Pazagraph 63.009
provides for the adoption of a Policy and Procedure Manual for a Single County Juvenile
Detention Facility.
There currently exists a Policy and Procedure Manual, which has previously been
approved by the Juvenile Probation Boazd.
Kerr County Commissioners' Court now has a responsibility to put into place
such a Policy and Procedures Manual. We can adopt the one currently in place with the
knowledge that such is a "living" document that can be amended from time to time
depending on issues and circumstances.
